Superbly located on the edge of beautiful North-West Bay, at the entrance to Dru Point Bicentennial Park, this renovated 1920's cottage has a postcard perfect street appeal, the stunningly refreshed facade just a hint of the quality workmanship contained within. Originally constructed on a sprawling apple orchard, this property combines refined luxury living with an unrivalled waterside location, easy walking distance to parks and jetties, a short drive to schools and shopping.
The original cottage footprint has been updated to include a light filled open plan living/dining/kitchen space, adjoining cinema room, guest bedroom suite and master bedroom suite. An upper level extension has been added to incorporate a sumptuous private retreat, complete with sitting room, bedroom, office and ensuite. Perfect for extended family or guests, capturing mesmerising vistas across the bay from an under cover, tiled Juliet balcony.
Contemporary style is showcased throughout the home, highlighted by elevated ceilings, atrium windows, french door louvres, bespoke lighting and strategic skylights, all punctuated with pops of warm Tasmanian native timbers. Beachy chic flooring enhances the coastal vibe, warmed by a fabulous Escea fireplace and impressive full wall hardwood bookcase, whilst an undercover al fresco entertaining space is accessed from the dining space.
A sexy and sophisticated kitchen creates a jaw dropping contrast to the living space, with its striking black cabinetry, integrated appliances and plumbed butlers pantry, creating a sleek, minimalistic aesthetic. An eye catching glass window splashback combines with a large timber framed skylight to provide loads of natural sunlight, whilst the chef of the house is spoilt for choice with a wall of integrated ovens - fan forced, steam, sous vide and microwave. A large butlers pantry keeps all of the clutter hidden, a must for serious entertainers.
The main bedroom is a masterstroke, incorporating a pastel curved timber accent wall, front verandah access, a capacious walk through robe and sumptuous resort style ensuite bathroom, complete with a designer free standing bath and huon pine/myrtle vanity cabinets. A generously sized second bedroom, walk in robe and ensuite completes the downstairs accomodation.
An auto garage provides secure car parking and internal access to the home, whilst also including a clever Euro laundry. There is a plethora of room for more cars, caravans, boats or trailers. The studio situated at the rear of the property was part of the original homestead and has been expertly updated with handsome timber cladding, creating an additional opportunity for extended family living or short stay accomodation (S.T.C.A). A muscle soothing free standing spa bath combines with a full outdoor BBQ kitchen to complete a breath taking outdoor entertaining zone, a space where family memories will be created and forever cherished.
